Allied Health Professions Council Registration: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Understand the registration requirements and annual costs for dietitians practicing as allied health professionals in Singapore.
This scheme is the official registration process required for dietitians to work legally within the healthcare landscape of Singapore.
Who it's for
This registration is mandatory for dietitians who are practicing in Singapore. It ensures that all individuals providing nutritional and dietary services meet the necessary standards required by the national health framework.
What you get
By completing this process, you receive a legal license that authorizes you to practice as an allied health professional. This license serves as your official recognition and legal standing to provide professional services in your field.
What it costs you
To maintain your status, you must pay an annual practicing certificate fee. The cost for this certificate is between $100 and $200 SGD. Beyond the financial cost, you must also dedicate time to your professional growth by earning mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points.
The catch to know
The most important thing to track is your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points. You cannot simply pay the fee and be done; you must actively participate in professional learning activities. Failure to hit the mandatory number of CPD points required for your practice will lead to a suspension of your license.
How to apply
- Access the official portal provided by the Ministry of Health.
- Navigate to the section for allied health professional registration.
- Complete the necessary application steps and provide any required professional credentials.
- Pay the annual practicing certificate fee of $100-$200 SGD.
